Background
Internal jugular vein (IJV) narrowing has been implicated in central nervous system pathologies, however normal physiological age- and gender-related IJV variance in healthy individuals (HIs) has not been adequately assessed.Objectives
We assessed the relationship between IJV cross-sectional area (CSA) and aging.Materials and Methods
This study involved 193 HIs (63 males and 130 females) who received 2-dimensional magnetic resonance venography at 3T. The minimum CSA of the IJVs at cervical levels C2/C3, C4, C5/C6, and C7/T1 was obtained using a semi-automated contouring-thresholding technique. Subjects were grouped by decade. Pearson and partial correlation (controlled for cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, heart disease, smoking and body mass index) and analysis of variance analyses were used, with paired t-tests comparing side differences.Results
Mean right IJV CSA ranges were: in males, 41.6 mm2 (C2/C3) to 82.0 mm2 (C7/T1); in females, 38.0 mm2 (C2/C3) to 62.3 mm2 (C7/T1), while the equivalent left side ranges were: in males, 28.0 mm2 (C2/C3) to 52.2 mm2 (C7/T1); in females, 27.2 mm2 (C2/C3) to 47.8 mm2 (C7/T1). The CSA of the right IJVs was significantly larger (p<0.001) than the left at all cervical levels. Controlling for cardiovascular risk factors, the correlation between age and IJV CSA was more robust in males than in the females for all cervical levels.Conclusions
In HIs age, gender, hand side and cervical location all affect IJV CSA. These findings suggest that any definition of IJV stenosis needs to account for these factors. 相似文献2.

Mycobacterium bovis is the causative agent of bovine tuberculosis
(TB), a disease that affects approximately 5% of Argentinean cattle. Among the
molecular methods for genotyping, the most convenient are spoligotyping and variable
number of tandem repeats (VNTR). A total of 378 samples from bovines with visible
lesions consistent with TB were collected at slaughterhouses in three provinces,
yielding 265 M. bovis spoligotyped isolates, which were distributed
into 35 spoligotypes. In addition, 197 isolates were also typed by the VNTR method
and 54 combined VNTR types were detected. There were 24 clusters and 27 orphan types.
When both typing methods were combined, 98 spoligotypes and VNTR types were observed
with 27 clusters and 71 orphan types. By performing a meta-analysis with previous
spoligotyping results, we identified regional and temporal trends in the population
structure of M. bovis. For SB0140, the most predominant spoligotype
in Argentina, the prevalence percentage remained high during different periods,
varying from 25.5-57.8% (1994-2011). By contrast, the second and third most prevalent
spoligotypes exhibited important fluctuations. This study shows that there has been
an expansion in ancestral lineages as demonstrated by spoligotyping. However, exact
tandem repeat typing suggests dynamic changes in the clonal population of this
microorganism. 相似文献

We report a 14-year-old-boy with markedly elevated serum creatine kinase (CK) levels, in whom massive triglyceride storage was found in peripheral blood leukocytes and in muscle biopsy. Sequencing PNPLA2, the gene encoding the adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) and responsible for the neutral lipid storage disease with myopathy (NLSDM), we identified two heterozygous mutations, including a previously reported nonsense and a novel missense mutation in the patatin domain of the gene.Lipid storage myopathy can be clinically silent in childhood and presenting only with hyperCKemia. 相似文献

Pulmonary infections often complicate hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) outcome. Uncommon aetiologies, like Mycobacterium tuberculosis, should be considered when the clinical conditions do not fully improve with standard antimicrobial therapy and microbiological evaluations are repeatedly negative for bacteria and fungi. We describe an interesting pediatric case of miliary lung tuberculosis after HSCT, which was successfully treated after administering the appropriate therapy. 相似文献

The human delta-globin gene (HBD) is one of the beta-like globin genes expressed in adults. In the Mediterranean countries the carriers of delta-thalassemia defects or Hb A2-variants are >1% and about 40/70 known alleles have been found in families with this ethnic origin. The scope of this study was to investigate the variability of the gene and of the chromosomal background in order to highlight the origin and spreading of the delta-globin gene alleles in the Mediterranean area. We carried out the characterization of the delta-globin gene alleles and of RFLP-haplotypes, SNPs and one microsatellite associated with them in 231 carriers originating principally from East Sicily. Seventeen alleles were identified, of which five were new. The chromosomes associated with mutated alleles from unrelated carriers were 158; the allele Hb A2-Yialousa accounted for about 75% of relative frequency, Hb A2-Mitsero for about 8%. The alleles were associated with RFLP 5'-haplotypes "- - - -" or "+ - + +", prevalent in the Mediterranean area, except Hb A2-Mitsero associated with the 5'-haplotype "Benin" "- - - +" and the Hb A2' associated with "+ - - +", both of African origin. Each allele showed linkage with one haplotype with these exceptions. The Hb A2-Yialousa showed heterogeneity of the 5'-haplotype in 2/58 chromosomes; the Hb A2-Mitsero showed SNPs and (A)gamma-microsatellite typical of a "Benin" haplotype found associated with the Hb C and Hb S chromosomes; the Hb A2-Yialousa (14/58 chromosomes), Hb A2-Mitsero, Hb A2-Pylos, Hb A2-Fitzroy showed heterogeneity in the 3'-haplotypes and beta-globin gene SNPs. The Hb A2-Coburg was found associated with the haplotype "+ - + +/+ +" different from that already reported "- - - -/+ -". With the exception of this last allele, the linkage of each mutation with a core of RFLPs or SNPs around or inside the delta-globin locus suggested the unicentric origin of the mutations followed by recurrent recombination events causing the chromosomal background heterogeneity. 相似文献

A series of potential DNA-binding antitumor agents, 3-[omega-(alkylamino)alkyl]-6-nitro-thiadiazino[3,4,5-kl]acridines 12 and 1,3-di[omega-(alkylamino)alkyl]-6-nitro-thiadiazino[3,4,5-kl]acridines 13, has been prepared by cyclization with SOCl(2) of 1-[[omega-(alkylamino)alkyl]amino]-9-imino-4-nitro-9,10-dihydroacridines 16 or 1-[[omega-(alkylamino)alkyl]amino]-9-[omega-(alkylamino)alkyl]imino-4-nitro-9,10-dihydroacridines 17, respectively. The non-covalent DNA-binding properties of 12, 13 have been examined using a fluorometric technique. In vitro cytotoxic potencies of these derivatives toward six tumor cell lines, including human colon adenocarcinoma (HT29) and human ovarian carcinoma (A2780 sensitive, A2780cisR cisplatin-resistant, CH1, CH1cisR cisplatin-resistant, and SKOV-3) cells, are described and compared to that of reference drugs. In vivo antitumor activity of some selected derivatives, endowed with relevant cytotoxic activity against murine leukemia P388 are reported. The 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-6-nitro-2,7-dihydro-3H-2 lambda(4)-thiadiazino[3,4,5-kl]acridin-2-one (12d) has been identified as a new lead in the development of anticancer tetracyclic acridine derivatives. 相似文献
